...Roman Catholic office seeker-Jack Kennedy. Dodging a personal opinion of the bishops' policy ("That's my business"), Kennedy burned at being put on the spot. Bishop Pike's question, said Kennedy, "should be directed to all public candidates and to all public men. Do they call up other candidates when the bishops of their faith make some kind of statement?

Preliminary drawings for the houses call for three separate units housing 25 each and all placed under the same roof. For reasons of economy, the three units will be heated as one building, but otherwise they will function individually, each having its own kitchen and dining room...

General Motors, which had shut down its plants, began to call workers back to resume making parts. Ford put its operation on five days, and scheduled overtime on the Falcon, Thunderbird and Lincoln. (But Chrysler laid off more workers, stopped production of its Valiant.) With American Motors and Studebaker-Packard also operating five days, the industry's output for the week...
